| The upcoming election for the assembly 19:36 - Mar 31 with 2441 views | Jackfath |
After watching the news tonight I thought I'd do some online research to find out who is standing in my constitency and read up a bit about the various candidates.
Unfortunately this is proving far more difficult than I had hoped.
It's almost as though they don't want people to do some research for themselves and just have what the media throw at us as way of making our choices.
Any ideas as to where I could find a list of the candidates? |  |

Thank you. Quite incredible that the names on there are not linked to any external sites. One may as well apply Skippy's horse betting system in picking names that one likes. It's potentially a good site but oh so lacking in any real information for the budding voter. |
Isn't that what voting is? picking a candidate that one likes?
And you have the audacity to call us thickies thick. |  |

I've emailed Edwina Hart and Julie James asking about the disparity in funding. They both uttered the usual rhetoric, we love Swansea and give it loads, look at the museum, city centre plans and bay campus. When I pointed out that these were primarily EU funded and the city centre regeneration is being done with less than £20m WAG money (less than they spend maintaining Cardiff Bay EVERY YEAR), they haven't responded.
They rely on public ignorance to keep them in. They can't dispute facts. |
When did you email and when did they respond?
I've got a sneaky feeling that you probably wont get another response now because I think the assembly dissolves today. I wouldn't be surprised if all the Assembly staff have cleared off for a month.
Wouldn't count on another response till after the election. |  | | |

I last emailed Julie James about 2 months ago, Edwina about a month. Like you say, I won't be holding my breath, but Labour always fall to pieces when actually held to account.
I heard Carywn on Swansea Sound, when questioned, took sole responsibility for the Bay Campus, city centre regeneration, City deal, Museum. They contributed a tiny fraction to the Bay campus, less than £20m to the city centre, nothing to the city deal, and the museum was EU funds.
As I say, they rely on ignorance. |  |

I should point out that the £20 million promised towards the cost of the City Centre redevelopment will only happen IF the development goes ahead.
The last two proposed developments didn't. I won't hold my breath this time. | | | |
